Similar looking to L015
and L140 but L451 shows
a more spotted pattern on the head. Featured in the DATZ magazine
of July 2010. The Peckoltia genera possesses a medium
sized mouth with the same amount of teeth in the lower and upper
jaw. The lower end of the caudal fin is usually oblique and
only slightly indented. Aquarium Care: No problem
to keep and seem to be non-aggressive in a group of individuals.
Should be kept in warm and soft to medium hard waters. Sexual
differences: Males have bristles behind the gill covers,
on the pectoral fin spines and on the posterior part of the
body. They also posses bristles on the upper caudal fin rays.
Diet: Omnivores, easy to feed with frozen and
live foods and also tablet and flake food. Should be kept at
slightly higher temperatures and have a requirement for a higher
oxygen intake.
